Discussion on TG2208

One of only four such font canopies (as opposed to covers) in England. Three are in the East of England and medieval or early Tudor: the other two of those are not far away at Trunch in TG2834 and at St Mary's, Luton in TL0921 . The remaining example dates from the Restoration and is in Durham Cathedral NZ2742.

"Four square supports with canopied niches and crockets rise to an octagonal cornice with brattishing, on which are attached further dropped pinnacles. Above this all is Victorian: big octagonal superstructure with crocketed cap. A pelican on top." - Pevsner & Wilson, 1997
